Focusing on the future of the forest

INTERFORST's motto is: "Shaping forests together. Harnessing diversity. Securing the future." Four key themes highlight what matters in the industry: healthy forests for the future, focus on people, new approaches to forestry technology, and digitalization in forestry and wood. Here you will gain new insights, practical inspiration, and valuable knowledge for your daily work.

Key topics

Dialogue on equal terms – with business, politics, and science

INTERFORST is THE industry platform that brings everyone together: representatives from business, politics, and science are guests here and discuss the future of the industry together. This is particularly noticeable on stage: on the Green Couch, political decision-makers discuss current framework conditions, the forums focus on market and company perspectives, and at the congress, scientists present the latest findings for practical application. Benefit from the exchange of ideas and different perspectives!
